Sacramento is a prime jumping-off point for cabin stays featuring outdoor adventures.
The capital of the Golden State is halfway between the Pacific Ocean and the legendary Sierra Nevada mountain range, making for easy access to some of Californias greatest adventures. A short drive outside Sacramento in either direction is a dream for campers and outdoor enthusiasts—whether rustic cabins in the Gold Country foothills, winter chalets in the dramatic granite peaks of the Sierra Nevada, or coastal cabins near the San Francisco Bay Area. Cabins near Sacramento include anything and everything from rustic stone cabins by the riverfront, modernist wood cabins in the gold country, and traditional log cabins dotted throughout the region. Depending on the time of year, cabin dwellers in the greater Sacramento region might spend time kayaking the American River, hiking near Donner Pass and Truckee, or gold panning near Grass Valley. Summer brings triple-digit temperatures to Sacramento and is a nice time to go wine tasting in neighboring Amador County. Late spring and early fall bring the best temperatures for backpacking, boating, and mountain biking, while wintertime brings skiers and snowboarders to the slopes of Kirkwood and Lake Tahoe, both popular areas for cozy cabins.
